More than 94,000 flee flooding in China


(CNN) -- More than 94,000 people were evacuated after heavy rains caused a river to swell to dangerous levels in northern China, state media reported Sunday.
The Yalu River remains a risk as heavy rains are expected to pound the region Sunday, the Xinhua news agency said.
The river is on the border of China and North Korea.
At least four people have died in the region since Thursday, with 44 townships flooded in Dandong, Liaoning province, Xinhua said.
Heavy rains have triggered mudslides in the country, including one in northwest China's Gansu province that has killed 1,400 people. About 360 more are still missing, state media said. CNN
